Follow-up Comment #18, bug #45930 (group findutils): This issue is not because of the directory type, but ...ugh, rather because the -execdir action resets ignore_readdir_race=false:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/find/parser.c?id=faa13013686b17#n2812 You can verify by adding another -ignore_readdir_race at the very end of the command line (which will issue a warning about that but will still ignore the ENOENT errors: $ ~/findutils/find/find test -ignore_readdir_race -name 'bin' -execdir rmdir 'foo' 'bar' 'baz' ';' -ignore_readdir_race || echo 'errors' find/find: warning: you have specified the global option -ignore_readdir_race after the argument -name, but global options are not positional, i.e., -ignore_readdir_race affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it. Please specify global options before other arguments. This change for -execdir has been added in 2005 in this commit: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=74a750b11fba8 @James: do you remember or have email notes about why -execdir should disable -ignore_readdir_race? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45930> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
